The plastic washing machine is used to rinse broken waste plastics and precipitate impurities, and it is made of stainless steel or iron plates. The cleaned and dried waste plastics can be fed directly into the plastic granulator to make plastic pellets.
Role of plastic washing machine
The plastic washing tank is mainly used to clean the crushed plastic scrap. The washing machine for plastic scrap with rake teeth can poke the raw materials in the pool to achieve the purpose of transport. On the other hand, it can also clean the raw materials more thoroughly.
Parameters of the Washing Machine for Plastic Scrap
A 100-500kg/h pelletizing line is equipped with a washing machine for plastic scrap model SL-150, which has a total length of about 15-20 meters, with about 10 rake teeth in a washing machine for plastic scrap and a spacing of 1.5-2 meters between each rake tooth.
Of course, Shuli Machinery can also be customized according to your factory area and production line output.
Plastic waste washing machine structure
Shuliy Machinery’s plastic washing machine is assembled by unique rake teeth into a set of rotary grating chains, mainly composed of a driving device, rake teeth structure, brush structure, and so on.
Floating washing tank
Large blue tanks are used for density separation. Clean plastic flakes sink, while lighter contaminants float for removal. The tank body is made of heavy-duty coated steel or stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
Friction washer paddles
The red rotary paddles and spiral paddles scrub plastic materials, removing stubborn dirt, glue, and oil.
Screw conveyor cleaning sections
The plastic washing machine includes long screw cleaning tanks where plastic is advanced through the tank while being cleaned and separated.

Features of Plastic Washing Tank
- Suitable for all kinds of films and PP woven bags with sediment content up to 80 percent
- Adopt a circulating water system to ensure the cleaning effect while controlling the water flow and evaporation of water
- The core part of the pre-treatment module adopts a wear-resistant design to ensure long-term continuous operation of the system
- Pre-shredding and pre-cleaning system efficiently removes most of the sediment and other impurities to protect the subsequent equipment and significantly improve the service life of the fine shredding and cleaning system
How plastic chips washing machine work?
The rake teeth of the plastic washing machine are driven by the drive device to circulate, and due to the guidance of the grooved wheel and the curved rail, each group of rake teeth produces an automatic cleaning movement between them. And most of the solids can fall by gravity with the operation of the rake teeth.
The bottom of the plastic chips washing machine is equipped with a spiral device, which can be used to remove silt and sediment and improve the use of water
